Does a light come on when the door is open? Does the timer work independently when the micro is in use?

Yes the light does come on when the door is open, however the display on the timer is is impossible for me to read.

The light is on when the door is open. The timer will work as just a timer without the unit working or heating, however it will not work independently if in use.

The light does come on when the door is opened. I have never tried to use the timer independently while the microwave is in use.

Yes, pressing the little cover door lightly will override the program mode and turn it on or off as needed. So, you would press it once to turn the light on, then press it again to turn the light off, and then it would come on automatically in the morning.

It doesn't come with a timer. It's hard to explain but you need to be able to set the timer to come on and then go back off after 30 minutes or so and stay off until the next time you want it to come back on for another 30 minutes or so. The door only works when it is turned on so you have to make sure it turns back off.

Yes, you can absolutely see through the door while it's microwaving and the light is on. You can't really see inside when the light is off, so you do have to open the door in that case.

it comes on when operating but not when you open the door. Great Microwave. Reheat sensor is the best!

No. There is no timer or light sensor on it. As long as it's plugged in, it will stay lit.

Mine only lights when you press keys and for a short while afterwards. It works very well, nice to be able to open gate when going away with someone else and not have to carry remote with me. I really like mine..

Yes, the inside light comes on for both cooking and open door.But there is no single button on like 30 Seconds or One Minute.

The "ON" time is adjustable. I'm moving light into a barn because rain got inside the motion-sensor housing with water condensation on the translucent surface. After that, the light only occasionally responded to motion.

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!

The interior light is ONLY on during operation of the microwave. It does NOT come on when you open the door. It is not a problem unless you live in a dark room. Ambient room light will serve all your needs for safe operation of the appliance. We love ours for sure.

The light does come on in ours. However our digital clock is fast and has never been correct since we took it out of the box.

To my knowledge there is no way to make it come on when you open the door. More frustrating, in order to turn on the light you have to "unlock" the keypad before it'll work. This entails holding down the + and - buttons for three seconds first, then you can turn the light on and off. It's a nice little cooler, but i've essentially written off the light feature given what a pain it is.

No, the light is operated by the switch independent of the opener (you can even use it without an opener). The light will stay on until you turn it off.

Does this Panasonic MW interior light come on when the door is open? I've spent a couple of hours on this. Only user Q/A pages know the answer. Which is: "No. Screw you." The help lines, even Panasonic's own, are clueless or wrong. Ditto the user manuals. Folks, almost no Panasonic MW light is on when the door is open. You heard it here first. This is a deal breaker if you must set your MW in a dimly lit place. All other manufacturer's models have light when the door is open. Panasonic says that light off saves energy. That rationale insults anyone who turns on a light to see what he is working on. Panasonic is arrogant. Does this Panasonic MW interior light come on when the door is open?

The LED flashes very briefly when the door is opened or closed. The LED will also come on if the cover is opened (tamper switch). Also, the LED will flash in response to initial pairing with your Z-wave controller (I have Vera Lite).

the light is going on only when you open the door and it goes off automatically by closing the door.
